OpenCFD is in a unique position to train people to use OpenFOAM effectively because it produces the software and documentation, and has provided support and training for OpenFOAM for many years. OpenCFD offer Introductory and Programming Training for OpenFOAM to enable those with little to moderate experience to use OpenFOAM effectively and independently.

Introductory training includes topics such as: installation and navigation of the OpenFOAM software; background in the use of Linux/UNIX; solvers and utilities; meshing; field initialisation; boundary conditions; selecting models; solution monitoring and control; post-processing; job control; mapping fields; running in parallel.

Programming training includes an introduction to C++ and its use in OpenFOAM; code structure and compilation; how to write a simple utility; the finite volume method and its algorithms; understanding OpenFOAM solvers; implementing new models and boundary conditions.

Several courses are scheduled at a variety of locations this year. Please use the form below to contact us about OpenFOAM training.
